+# Wizard Interface Redesign - Complete ✅
+
+## Overview
+
+The Wizard Interface has been completely redesigned to provide a cleaner, more focused experience that fits everything in a single window using a tabbed layout. The interface is now more compact and professional while maintaining all functionality.
+
+## Key Changes Made
+
+### 🎨 **Single Window Tabbed Design**
+- **Replaced**: Multi-section scrolling layout with sidebar
+- **With**: Compact tabbed interface using `Tabs` component
+- **Result**: All content accessible without scrolling, cleaner organization
+
+### 📏 **Compact Header**
+- **Removed**: Large EntityViewHeader with redundant information
+- **Added**: Simple title bar with essential info and controls
+- **Features**: 
+  - Trial name and participant code
+  - Real-time timer display during active trials
+  - Connection status badge
+  - Action buttons (Start, Next Step, Complete, Abort)
+
+### 🏷️ **Tab Organization**
+The interface now uses 5 focused tabs:
+
+1. **Execution** - Current step and action controls
+2. **Participant** - Demographics and information  
+3. **Robot** - Status monitoring and controls
+4. **Progress** - Trial timeline and completion status
+5. **Events** - Live event log and history
+
+### 🎯 **Button Improvements**
+- **Changed**: Full-width buttons to compact `size="sm"` buttons
+- **Positioned**: Action buttons in header for easy access
+- **Grouped**: Related actions together logically
+
+### 🎨 **Visual Cleanup**
+- **Removed**: Background color styling from child components
+- **Simplified**: Card usage - now only where structurally needed
+- **Cleaned**: Duplicate headers and redundant visual elements
+- **Unified**: Consistent spacing and typography
+
+## Layout Structure
+
+### Before (Multi-Section)
+```
